[QUOTE="amberzak, post: 403527, member: 24261"] [b]Re: What does a GAD antibody do once it has destroyed insuli[/b] I'm quite concerned that you've been diagnosed with type one diabetes and not been told its a life long condition. Everyone produces insulin. It's just that with us type ones, we have to inject it because our body doesn't produce it naturally. Insulin is what turns glucose into energy in our body. Everything you eat adds to the glucose levels in your body, not just sweet stuff. What insulin are you on? In the very least you should take your background insulin. The honeymooning people are talking about is basically where your body still spurts out a little bit of insulin, but it's erratic. Eventually this will stop, and you will die without insulin injections. What you are feeling is perfectly normal. I remember when I was diagnosed. I spent all my time researching to know everything about it. Please me weary of these supposed miracle cures you can read about. It's simply not true. Anyone who claims to be able to come off insulin injections completely for a long period of time, in my opinion, isn't type one. Type one means you cannot produce insulin. You can reduce the amount you need, for sure. No one likes to inject. No one like insulin. But it's a fact of life for us. I think you need to see your doctor about post diagnoses counselling. It's common to feel the way you do. But you will be on insulin for the rest if your life.
